Ricotta Cheese Recipes: Ricotta Cheese Spread With Dill, Parsley, Scallions

Here is a simple and delicious spread made out of ricotta cheese with just a few additions – dill, parsley, scallions (green onions), red wine vinegar, olive oil, paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper. I have had flavored cream cheese before, flavored with herbs, spices, vegetables, and even smoked salmon, but I have never had a spread that had ricotta cheese for a base.

I wasn’t sure what a spread with a ricotta cheese base would taste like, but with all the ingredients, it turned out to be fabulous spread, that can be easily spread on bread, and topped with lots of different things. The great thing about this spread, is that while it has all the delicious ingredients – dill, parsley, scallions, red wine vinegar, olive oil – it can also be paired well with lots of toppings. Radishes or cucumbers make a great crunchy topping on top of bread with Ricotta Cheese Spread With Dill, Parsley, Scallions. Or, you can top it with smoked salmon or other smoked fish. Or you can just spread this spread on bread, and eat it as is, it is delicious with just bread.
